A Type Of Sand

[Andythufishman]

Does anyone know if Auther.J.Bawers silver sand is safe for use in an aquarium? It says on the bag lime free and washed . has anyone used it before?

Any help is greatly recieved

I'm not sure what silver safe sand is, or familiar with the brand, but standard play sand is perfectly fine to use, and very cheap. About £4 per 15kg or something at Argos (or a Home Depot?) gives the tank a very natural look unless you are after the specific 'silver' colour?

not for a fish tank. though it will key any slabs or blocks you have on your driveway. and makes a good drainage base for gardening.
its a a bit too sharp of fishkeeping. though safe enough, in terms of content.
